I don't see the point in bringing in another Winger. There's no one in the team to finish any crosses anyway.
We need a decent forward first

Who knows what's going to happen in the remainder of the window. If we get Low and Darling is still here we would have 4 central defenders. Would we go three at the back with two wingbacks, possibly Key and Tymon. As you say a forward should be priority. We seem to be like kids in a sweet shop buying what we can afford and fancy without any structure.

and the elephant in the room is still the Manager, recent performances would suggest that it wasn't just Grimes who stopped playing for him but maybe a few more so what happens next should he be staying ?

good morning every one
the next few days are going to be the most important since we dropped out of the topflight, with our long term captain on the point of leaving,and as much as i would love to keep Mr Dalling he will go as well i think its what will come in not only to replace those 2 but add to the squad and IMPROVE the first team, again all talk little action with the days slipping away quickly.
the whole club needs an up lift the supporters spirits need raising or things will possibly turn ugly, we are limited in the market we shop in i know but for goodness sake show the loyal supporters of Swansea some REAL ambition which can still happen we all hope, but been hoping a lot since we were sold to the first USA owners was hoping these new people would move us forwards but as i write not looking very good
you can blame who you like, board, manager but we have what we have at this time and we MUST stay in this div reset in the summer , drop out of this div and the problems will get a lot worse, over to you Mr chairman and the new board the future o f Swansea a f c is in your hands

He’s had a lot of heat taken off him the last couple of days.

Even since the West Brom comments, we have dug in a bit at home. We’ve just crumbled away though, in every game.

I do think we’ll see a bit of fight Saturday. If we do give up, or we do it at Bristol the following week, he really has to go.

You are in a bit of a quandary here, you really dislike Williams and you really dislike Grimes and often said he should stand up to the manager. What if he did, didn't like the outcome and told his agent to see what is available. Then last Thursday was the outcome, personally I don't think he would have persuaded Cabango to sign a new contract if he was planning to leave.

Morning
Yiu are utterly wrong in this case as I am in no quandary at all.
I see this as an opportunity to move on the most overated player and captain we have ever had in recent times . Most agree with me NOW. I saw through Williams long ago when some were telling me he would never leave . They might the ones you refer to . They will be shattered as Frimes oversaw everything .
It turned out he accepted more money ,which some said he never would because he ( laughingly) loved Swansea and his family were settle. More shyte .
I cannot understand the nativity of “ some” and quandary might apply to them.
Now this seems good money and should give us some buying power. If we replace with crap or sicknotes or promising waifs ,we will be relegated,another possibility I suggested .
Maybe ,as joint POTY,you should accept OHL has been bag on the money and rather prescient in most matters .

Now, get these new players in and we will rise immediately BUT ,Williams ,has to go.

“ Dislike” ,Grimes as a player,absolutely ,at least the way he played for us
And his gutless captaincy


As for Williams, “ dislike” is the wrong word

When have we ever got the ball forward quickly enough for our front Players to gain the necessary advantage for our forwards TO score? The forwards aren’t supplied with chances with any regularity

I agree. When you look at the chances Bianchini has missed I think Vipotnic would have a better goal/chance ratio than him.

Which although fortuitous, is under any other circumstances a waste of much needed money for squad strengthening . The penny and the bun springs to mind here.

I told a cardiff fan a few weeks ago, theyd give LW the window, and gamble on not scuppering any plans they have of playrs coming in.

But im astonished atm at the ones that have gone, and maybe to go as yet, though I had my suspcions on MG from one of the last home games , and HD. any respect I had for both and LW has gone, the last month has put the club in a very disasterous position in my view.

Survive in the league? who knows , the next few days will give me a better idea, but ATM I see no positives.

COYS STID.

Too true, if we were only at the old Vetch , these charlatans both on and off the field wouldnt get away with it .

the club is far more imortant than any player, management.

I’d argue that bringing in the current day equivalent of the 1970 Brazilian football team under this current manager would not be seen as squad strengthening. He’ll ruin whatever talent they have.

Absolutely Williams has undoubtedly lost the dressing room vital decisions for our owners to make now hope they understand the financial difference between championship and league 1

This one may come back to bite me but I really don't see the loss of 30 year old Grimes as being a great problem unless we don't get in someone suitable for the job, someone who can take decent corners, distribute the ball quickly to the left or right be it forward or when needed backwards to facilitate a quick attack forward. A player who can match opposition midfielders for pace to keep control of the game even when the opposition up their intensity, the ability to bring the ball under control with one touch be it for himself or his team mates, and speed of thought to be able to make the right decision with passing and movement giving his team mates space and options that drive the team forward more often.
The worry is willl our players be allowed the option to play the game to ensure we stop leaving ourselves exposed because of how the coach expects players to play.

This is the whole thing with Vipotnik. He doesn’t put himself in positions to miss chances. Bianchini and Cullen do. Peart-Harris does it better from out wide.

He invariably arrives too late or not at all. Some interpret that as not enough chances being created for him and can’t explain why they seem to drop to other players.

I’ve watched him in the warm up drills a couple of times and his shooting is easily the best. He could be a decent striker, but he needs to learn to anticipate play, time his runs and put himself about. That scuffle at the end of the Cardiff game was the most physical he’s been.

It's going to be fascinating on Saturday to see how we adapt. Up until now the players have always looked for Grimes to pass too and dictate the play. I am just hoping that without him we don't slow down even more while we look who to pass. It's going to be a massive change for the team as Grimes has been a constant for the whole game every game.
